Temporary Non-Resident Registration of Out-of-State Appraisers
(1) The Board will recognize temporarily the license or certificate of an appraiser issued by another state if:
(a) The appraiser is a non-resident of Oregon;
(b) The appraiser’s business is of a temporary nature; and
(c) The appraiser registers with the Board.
(2) Any out-of-state appraiser desiring to conduct real estate appraisal activity within the State of Oregon, must submit an application for temporary registration on a form prescribed by the Board. The application must include:
(a) The required registration fee, and
(b) An irrevocable consent to service form appointing the Board Administrator as agent for service of process as provided in these rules, if, in an action against the applicant in a court of this state arising out of the applicant’s activities as a licensed or certified appraiser, the plaintiff cannot, in the exercise of due diligence, effect personal service upon the applicant.
(3) The applicant must also request a license history from the applicant’s resident state indicating applicant is currently in good standing. This verification must be submitted directly to the Board office by the applicant’s resident state licensing authority. The license history must be received by the Board within 30 days of receipt of the application. Alternatively, the Board may obtain a National Registry Appraiser License History Report.
(4) The non-resident registration is only valid for a single appraisal assignment within the state.
(5) A single appraisal assignment may include one or more properties under one contract for a single client.

Reciprocity
(1) The Administrator of the Board may enter into reciprocal agreements with other states in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) The Administrator shall determine that the standards, qualifications and examinations for the licensing and certifying of real estate appraisers in the other states are substantially similar to those in Oregon;
(b) The Administrator shall obtain the approval of the Board before entering into the agreement.
(2) Reciprocal agreements shall provide that the two states may issue licenses or certificates without examination, to license or certificate holders of the other state, upon payment of a mutually agreed upon fee, proof of current certificate and a certified letter of good standing from the other state.
(3) A reciprocal licensee shall comply with all statutes and rules governing licensed and certified appraisers in Oregon. Each reciprocal licensee shall immediately notify the Administrator of any disciplinary action taken in any other state in which the person holds a license or certificate.
(4) The Administrator may terminate a reciprocal agreement, with approval of the Board, if the administrator finds that the other state:
(a) Is not assisting the Administrator in enforcement activity for the protection of Oregon consumers;
(b) Is not maintaining and enforcing standards, qualifications, and examinations substantially similar to those of this state.
(5) Upon termination of a reciprocal agreement with another state, the Administrator may deny the issuance of a reciprocal license or certificate, or revoke a current reciprocal license or certificate from that state. Applicants, license and certificate holders from that state must then apply for a license or certificate in the same manner as other Oregon applicants.
(6) Reciprocal certificates are issued at the same level of certification as in the applicant’s state.
(7) For purposes of this rule, “substantially similar” means that the other state’s minimum standards qualifications for appraisal experience and education, and examinations meet the standards established by the Board as set forth in OAR 161, Division 10.
(8) Applications for a reciprocal license or certificate shall be processed in accordance with the written reciprocal agreement between the Board and the applicant’s resident state.
